About 30% of point mutations (substitutions) that occur in coding regions of DNA are harmless. Why?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. because only 30% of the DNA is actually coding for amino acids

  2. because only 70% of the DNA is actually coding for amino acids

  3. because most amino acids are specified by several codons that differ at the third position

  4. all of the above

Which statement below about mating behavior is correct?

A) Some aspects of courtship behavior may have evolved from agonistic interactions.

B) The degree to which evolution affects mating relationships depends on the degree of prenatal and postnatal input the parents are required to make.

C) The mating relationship in most mammals is monogamous, to ensure the reproductive success of the pair.
